Post number level names...
« on: June 29, 2011, 05:48:56 PM »
I've never cared for McPostypants or whatever. I'm moving in on 5000 but I'll still be McPosypants, and I will be at least until 10,000, I think...  *sigh* I really do hate it. It makes me think of that saying, "Put on your woman's grown up panties and deal with it."  (Men, if you have to ask what I mean then ask your female friends.) See why I hate it?

Could we please, please, please go back to the original ones? They were fun and they were sort of like role playing.

Well, just a suggestion...  Now I'll go back to being a grown up and ignoring the title...  if I have to...

Did the original system go up that high?

Missing you, Md 

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

What are the upper levels?  Is there anything above 'Seriously?'

Isn't there "Needs a Life" for 20,000+?

Is it just me or is it getting a little solipsistic in here?

I liked the Dresden-themed labels we had before, personally.

In case you weren't around.. I think the old ones were--what?  Mortal, Apprentice, Wizard etc?  White Council (or should that be Gray now?) was reserved for moderators I think.  Jena may have a better memory.  There is a line in a Noel Coward play, Waiting in the Wings, "My mind is like a sieve."   Yep, that's my mind.

Don't care about the number of posts to get to different levels, I just prefer the old classifications.

And yes, that's better. Thank you!

So that's where that comes from!

I have learnt so much from this forum in the past week.  Thanks meg_evonne.

I like to think of my brains as a broken egg dribbling through a metal sieve---yuck, and far too true.  *sigh*

What exactly was wrong with the pants?  I've never heard of that saying, so I'm lost.

"Put on your big-girl panties" is an even more derogatory way of saying "Grow up." Although I'd never heard that version; I'd seen "Put on your big-boy pants" far more often (not directed at me, 'cause I was born a surly old man :D ).

I've had that version said to me, and I'm a girl.   :D

I still don't see how the McPosterpants were offensive, though, since nobody was being insulted.  Personally, I liked the pants.  They kept my virtual butt nice and toasty.

Ehren wears pants.  I would not consider a comparison to him to be derogatory. :D

*gasp*  They must have taken the pants to cripple our batmanning skills!  How could they?!  >:(
